All grain is priced per pound.
English Maris Otter. 3.5-4.5° L. This variety of barley has long been the favorite of English brewers for its brewhouse performance and rich, slightly nutty flavor. An excellent malt for any English beer style.
Fawcett Optic Pale Malt. 2.5-3.0° L. Optic is a barley variety widely grown in the United Kingdom. We have been impressed with its highly aromatic qualities.
Fawcett Halcyon Pale Malt. 2.5-3.0° L. Another pale malt we offer, Halcyon is a barley variety that was bred from Maris Otter and Sargent. Tends to produce a 'sharper' wort than Maris Otter.
Fawcett Pale Chocolate Malt. 180-250° L. Less highly-roasted than regular chocolate malt. Adds color and a mild chocolate/coffee flavor to dark milds, stouts, and porters.
Simpson's Golden Promise. 1.7-2.0° L. Malt from a traditional barley variety grown in Scotland. Golden Promise produces a mellow wort, making it well-suited for both ales and lagers. This base malt is a must for authentic Scottish styles of ale or lager.
Simpsons Caramalt. 30-37° L. Made from green malt. Imparts a light flavor, and slight red hue. Great for dark lagers and ales. Will contribute dextrins and add to foam stability. This grain may be steeped or mashed.
Simpsons Medium Crystal. 50-60° L. A good general-purpose crystal malt. Medium crystal malt will impart a moderate color and caramel flavor to your beer. The grain will add a sweet malt flavor, increase foam stability and give a gold to red color to ale or lager.
Simpsons Dark Crystal. 70-80° L. Contributes a strong reddish hue to milds, brown ales, and other dark beers. The long kilning of this malt imparts a roasty edge on top of the malty sweetness of a crystal malt.
Simpsons Extra Dark Crystal. 155-165° L. One of the darkest crystal malts available.
Crisp Amber. 27° L. Made from ale malt. Warm, pleasant, biscuit flavor with coffee undertones. This is a versatile malt for the all grain or partial mash brewer. Try a 1/2 lb. In a nut brown or red ale.
Crisp Brown Malt. 60-70° L. Made from green malt. Imparts a dark roasted flavor and bitterness to beer. Works great in older styles of English ales such as brown ales and mild stouts and porters.
Simpsons Chocolate. 375-450° L. A classic malt for stout, porter, and brown ale. Provides color for a wide variety of darker beer styles. Use just a few ounces for a brown color and mild flavor, or up to a full pound for a very strong chocolate flavor and near black color.
Simpsons Black Malt. 500-600° L. Made by roasting white malt at a higher temperature than that used to produce Chocolate Malts. Gives a sharp flavor and black color. Used in sweet stout and many dark beers. This malt adds a lot of color and should be used in moderation.
Simpsons Roast Barley. 500-600° L. Made from barley that has not been malted. A distinct, more astringent roasted bitter flavor in dark beer and the perfect grain for Irish Stout.
Pauls Mild Ale. 2.9° L. Pauls Mild Ale malt is made from hearty UK winter malting barley. This mild ale malt is well modified and suitable for single-step infusion mashing. It produces a wort with a higher dextrin content than pale ale malt, resulting in a sweet beer regardless of whether it is mild ale or the bottled version, brown ale.
Simpsons Golden Naked Oats. 10° L. This unique product has a sweet berry-nut flavor. Used at a rate of 4-15% to add a deep golden hue, light caramel flavors, and a creamy, satiny finish.
Simpsons Peated Malt. 2.5° L. Phenol level 12-24. This malt is lightly peated and used to enhance flavor in Scottish ales. While the malt is in the kiln, peat moss outside the kiln is gently smoked over slow burning coals allowing its vapors to drift above the malt. Peat malt is also used in the making of Scotland's finest whiskies.
4° L. There are not many malt companies that produce an oat malt — we know of only Thomas Fawcett and Sons. We love oat malt for the texture and warmth that it adds to stouts, porters, other robust British beers.
Rahr 2-Row Pale. 1.7° L. Rahr 2-Row Pale is an economical base malt. It is made from Harrington barley, grown on the western prairies, and is malted in Minnesota. It is high in enzymes, well modified, clean and smooth. 2-row easily converts with a single step infusion mash, but a protein rest is recommended for improved clarity.
Rahr Premium Pilsner. A high-quality, economical base malt from Rahr Malting in Shakopee, MN. Can make up to 100% of the grist for a very pale beer. Great for lagers. 1.5 - 2° L.
Rahr 6-Row Pale. 1.7° L. Optimized for adjunct brewing—its high enzyme content easily converts corn, rice, oats, etc. Six-row is also useful in lautering wheat beers due to it high husk content. However, six-row is high in protein, and can result in increased break and haze. A protein rest is required.
Rahr White Wheat. 3° L. A domestic wheat malt; can be used for up to 50% of a grain bill.
Briess Carapils. 1.5° L. Carapils is a dextrin malt. Its main function is to add foam stability, body, and palate fullness to otherwise thin worts. Dextrin malt also significantly enhances head retention. Although it appears darker than pale malt, it has a clear, glassy endosperm and does not contribute significantly to beer color or flavor. Must be mashed with other diastatic grains.
Briess Caramel Malts. Briess Caramel Malts are available in seven different color ranges, ranging from very light (10°L) to very dark (120°L). Lighter caramel malts will contribute slight color and and a candy-like sweetness. The darker caramel malts have a more pronounced caramel flavor, with burt sugar, raisin, and prune notes. Use up to 15% in an all-grain batch, or steep up to a pound and a half in a five-gallon extract batch.
Briess Victory. 25° L. A unique malt from a great American maltster. Gives gold to light brown color and a dry, toasty, bread-like malt flavor. Excellent for English ales.
Briess Special Roast. 50° L. Designed to contribute "biscuit" (pronounced English) flavor to beer This malt is particularly suited to English Ales. The malt provides a deep golden to brown color. For nut brown ales, use 5-10% of total grist. For dark amber and other dark beers, use 2-5%. For porter, use 5-10%.
Gambrinus Honey Malt. 20-30° L. Honey malt is Gambrinus Malting's best description for the unique European malt known as brumalt. Its intense malt sweetness makes it perfect for any specialty beer. It is devoid of any astringent roast flavors.
Dingemans Pilsen Malt. 1.6° L. Dingemans Pils is an excellent malt for many styles, including full-flavored lager, Belgian ale and European style wheat beer. Dingemans Pilsen is low in protein, and results in a remarkably clean and light finished product.
Dingemans Pale. 3.2° L. Dingemans Pale is a fully modified Belgian two-row malt, easily converted by a single temperature mash. It is a good all-purpose pale malt, and essential in Belgian ale.
Dingemans Aromatic. 19° L. A hybrid Munich malt. At a rate as low as 10% it will lend a distinct, almost exaggerated malt aroma and flavor.
Dingemans Caramel Pils. 6° L. Caramel Pils is a halfway point between dextrin malt and true caramel malt. This grain differs from Briess Carapils in that Dingemans Caramel Pils contributes a subtle caramel flavor. The malting process creates a 'floury' endosperm that will yield fermentable sugars when mashed with diastatic malt. Steep Caramel Pils in quantities under a pound to add a light caramel flavor, but mash it with other grains for the full effect.
Dingemans Caramel Malts. Dingemans Caramel Malts are an excellent choice for almost any recipe. CaraVienne (21° L) is an excellent all-purpose caramel malt. CaraMunich (57° L) imparts a more robust flavor and a deeper color. Both CaraVienne and CaraMunich impart a very subtle, toasted flavor which make them ideal for Märzen and British ales. Dingemans Special B (147° L) is an extremely dark caramel malt, which combines characteristics of dark caramel and light roasted malt. It has a sharp, almost toffee like flavor. In small proportions, it can contribute a ruby red color. Don't exceed 1/4 pound per five-gallon batch.
Dingemans Biscuit Malt. 24.5° L. This fine toasted malt contributes a warm, earthy flavor, with an aroma described by the maltster as "saltine crackers". Good in British ale. No diastatic power.
Dingemans Debittered Black Malt. 525-600° L. A unique malt for adding deep black malt color with little bitterness. A little goes a long way. Now you can create dark beers without the bitter, dark chocolate, coffee flavors of other highly kilned malts.
Franco-Belges Kiln Coffee Malt. 150-180° L. This unique malt imparts a pleasant coffee flavor. Use it in stouts, porters, brown ales, and Scottish ales.

Durst Vienna Malt. 3.8° L. An authentic European lager malt kilned to a slightly darker color than Pilsner malt. Use up to 30% in a pale beer or up to 90% in a Märzen to achieve a dry, slightly toasted flavor. Use a multiple temperature infusion mash or a decoction mash.
Durst Munich Malt. 8.3° L. This dark lager malt contributes an intense malt flavor to alt, dunkles, bock, and all dark German lager. A pound or two in a five gallon batch will impart an amber color and discernable toasted-malt flavor and aroma. Munich malt can be the bulk of your brew—use up to 60-80%.
Durst Dark Munich. 15.5° L. Darker than regular Munich malt, this will add color and a strong malt flavor to beer. Great for dark lagers. Mix this base malt with other base malts for a complex malt flavor and deeper color.
Durst Crystal. Available in amber (48° L) and dark (83° L) varieties. German crystal enhances body and malt aroma while imparting varying levels of color. These crystals have a much different character than UK or Belgian crystal malts, and should be your first choice for authentic German lager. Use under 10%, and mash for maximum extraction.
